In this episode of Properties to Profits, I break down the impact of Ohio’s newly passed Senate Bill 155—a law that now officially regulates wholesaling activity in the state. I walk you through what this bill actually says, what’s required moving forward, and how I’m adapting my business to stay compliant without slowing down.
We cover what this law gets right, what it completely misses, and how smart investors can actually use this moment to get ahead. If you’re wholesaling in Ohio—or anywhere else watching what’s happening here—this episode will give you the real insights you need to keep moving deals, stay legal, and win while others panic.
